Liquid–vapour phase change is a useful and efficient process to transfer energy in nature, as well as in numerous domestic and industrial applications. Relatively recent advances in altering ...

Phase-change materials offer such utility and here recent progress is reviewed. ... the switching process is very fast, ... for example, a change of polarization state of the light, ...

What are Phase Change Materials? Materials display different properties in each state of matter (solid, gas, liquid, and plasma) which can be manipulated for a multitude of purposes. A phase change is ...

How are real-time monitoring technologies, including electromagnetic sensors and high-speed X-ray diffraction, transforming heat treatment?
